TS4000
3
WARNING:
Silicone Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) is not an approved moisture
barrier. If used, damage to internal components will arise.
WARNING:
Substitution of electrical components within the TS4000 may impair intrinsic
safety.
WARNING:
Damage to the TS4000 housing where any internal components or protective
seals are broken, compromises the safety and usability of the device. A TS4000
with a damaged or open housing should not be used in a hazardous
environment. Such damage includes fractures in the housing, cracks in any
internal components, or cracks in the protective seals. Destruction of the
electrochemical cell (ECC) will not affect the basic safety of the TS4000;
however, the overall functionality of the TS4000 may be severely compromised.
WARNING:
Do not use a TS4000 with a damaged housing in a hazardous environment.
IMPORTANT:
Each TS4000 is shipped with an un-installed electrochemical sensor, to ensure
that a fresh sensor is used during initial start-up.
DO NOT
install the
electrochemical cell into the TS4000 until you are ready to apply power to the
system. Since the TS4000 is not factory calibrated to a specific cell, an initial field
calibration must be completed when installing this unit.
